choices

In life, you have two choices: Do you control your life_ or not? Are you the driver or the passenger? Do you make stuff happen, or let stuff to happen?

It has always been simple, but making it hard was always your way of avoiding pain. If you want to change your life, you have to change what you are doing. It wasn't his fault, her fault, their fault or the circumstances. It was your inability to choose. So, life chose for you. Somewhere in that crazy mind of yours time stopped. You thought someone would rescue you, but they didn't. You have to rescue yourself. This is not a fire you can put out; you have to walk through it, in order to reach life. Getting burned is apart of growth, didn't you know?

Without purpose and meaning in our lives, we banish ourselves to wander this plane of existence with self-destructive tendencies until the bell tolls and our breath capsizes in our lungs, snatching our chance to redeem ourselves forever.

No matter where you go, there__ always something to deal with; if it__ not greed, it__ lust, or envy, or pride, or something else. You just have to live your life so uncorrupted that it offsets the corruption as much as possible.

My worth changes with every choice I make and every action I take. I can choose myself to uselessness or to being valuable.

People exercise the freedom to present themselves from a vast array of precepts. The modern human mind can engage in reflective thought and selectively determine how to organize the elements of perception. We can consciously elect to depart from stereotypical behavior and transcend the heretofore-established biological behavioral preferences. People can elect to hold prejudices or not, can make rational or irrational decisions to engage in war or not, and can take deliberate steps to arrest destruction of the ecosystem or not. Holding ourselves in check by placing a brake upon the human propensity to strike out in instinctual behavior is a distinct human quality. Restraint from instant gratification of strong impulses represents a unique human behavior trait. By intentionally refraining from committing an instinctual action, humankind asserts its sovereignty from its biological constitution. Unbound from the limitations of its biological nature, a person can employ the mind to devise alternative behavioral choices and the results of numerous behavioral choices culminate to provide a person with a sophisticated definition of the self.

I like having options, alternate lives unlived but always possible.

The person who says it can__ be done is almost always interrupted by the person who is doing it.

Through my choices and actions, I have learned the most effective way of speaking to God is without saying a word.

We make choices and are in turn made by them.

If you can only do one thing today, choose to help someone in need. There are many who are less fortunate. Take some time to lend a helping hand. You will be surprised by how much you will uplift their spirit.

I no longer follow the voices of the sane. I follow the ill because they see farther, feel much more and change what the sane will not. This is the paradox of philosophers---trying to understand mass delusion among great people that have faith and knowledge, yet they can__ graduate from their institutions of religious theology to apply the knowledge they have gained for the shifting of Zion---- from words to action; from comfort to uncomfortable; from self serving to self giving; from competition to supporting; to tradition to unity; from bias to acceptance; from me to us.

Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghost__ promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected, discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled, gave up and didn__ try. Inaction is his greatest weapon, while regret is his second.

If you can__ dream big, you will never see the vivid colors of probability over the darkness of possibility.

L I V E or E V I L -- to Live life is to spell forward. To not live life is to spell backwards.

In too many instances we have settled for a world of our own shaping that is shaping up to be in terrible shape.

Your future depends of the choices you make today. The future for this reason can be predicted by your day to day living.

In order to be authentic, you have to make decisions based on what you want, rather than how it will be perceived.
